NEVADA YACHT CLUB

Welcome to Nevada's Premier Sailing Club

Novice Fleet

Novice Fleet Skippers

Join the Cup Fleet during each race and regatta. The NYC Race Captain will host a special briefing for first-time racers just after each skippers meeting (see schedule below for dates, times, and location).

Out on the water, after watching the Cup Fleet start their race, you’ll get to practice a start and even head for the first mark. The Race Captain will walk everyone through each step. No pressure!  Register below as a Novice Fleet Skipper and join us at the skippers meeting with your crew. We’ll take it from there!

Novice Fleet Crew

Want to participate but don't have a boat? Register as part of the Novice Fleet Club Crew. During each Cup Fleet race, an experience racing Skipper will take up to 4 crew members on our Catalina 22. You'll get to practice starts with the Novice Fleet and work on your skills. Previous sailing experience is required. Registration fees cover the entire regatta series. Current Club members can register below as a Novice Fleet Club Crew.
